Revised Version 1895

1 Chronicles 27:23-31

23But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of heaven.

24Joab the son of Zeruiah began to number, but finished not; and there came wrath for this upon Israel; neither was the number put into the account in the chronicles of king David;

25And over the king’s treasuries was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the treasuries in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jonathan the son of Uzziah:

26And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:

27and over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: and over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:

28and over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the lowland was Baal-hanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash:

29and over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai:

30and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:

31and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David’s.
